Over 6 kilometres of walking paths meander around the thousands of different plants, ranging from roses, azaleas and annuals to some of the rarest cycads in the world. All of which are complemented by numerous lakes & waterfalls – providing countless options for photography.

The pathways also take you on an enchanting journey up to the majestic lookout and into the pristine rainforest.

An Aviary covering over 1000 sq m opened on November 16th 2013 and walk through tours are available – please enquire at entry. A wide variety of birds from Macaws to finches enjoy the waterfall, nests and your shoulders to rest on when you visit.
